Battle at Pinnacle Estate (2)

As the car continued on its way from Sun Villa, Li Chen's unease grew, a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach that refused to be ignored. Restlessness took hold of him, and he found himself shifting uncomfortably in his seat. Sun Lixia, noticing his unease, turned to him and asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Chen merely nodded, his mind preoccupied with an invisible weight. The sensation was foreign to him, a subtle but persistent whisper that something was amiss. His usually calm demeanor was now replaced by an unsettled quietness. The road ahead seemed longer than usual, each passing moment amplifying the disquiet within him.

Sun Lixia observed him silently, concern etched on her face. The atmosphere in the car shifted, a palpable tension settling between them.
